Summary
Her future was a bright, open road. Colleen Dollimont was the valedictorian of her high school class in the small town of St. Alban's, Newfoundland. She headed off to university in St. John's, filled with excitement and cheerful anticipation. Then fate stepped in. As she struggled with an unexpected pregnancy, poverty and a desperately unhappy marriage, she kept some of her dreams intact and fought her way back to a different future, grounded in courage and resilience. Along the way she was haunted by strange dreams that brought her disturbing foreknowledge of key events in her life. She seldom mentioned this unsettling ability to friends and family. Not until she was thrust into the spotlight on a winter's day in 2013. She dreamt she won the lottery and woke up to find that it was true. Suddenly all of Newfoundland knew she had psychic dreams. Yet even winning the lottery does not bring perfect happiness, as Colleen soon discovered, and once again she had to gather her resources and go forward as her life made an abrupt turn. A Dreamer's Life is the compelling story of Colleen Dollimont's life, told with honesty, compassion and humour. Readers will suffer and celebrate with her as she demonstrates her courage and determination to keep pursuing her goals, no matter what the challenge. This is the heartfelt story of a woman who comes to believe in her own strength and inner resources, including those haunting glimpses of the future that come to her in dreams. A candid and intimate memoir, guaranteed to evoke admiration, laughter and tears.
